yes, but celerons are easy to overclock and are a lot more stable at overclocked speeds.
that is why they are still somwhat popular not to mention easy to aquire for little money.
but yeah over 1700 is a bit much i agree, with you on that point.

Ah got it now, your right they did pack some older releases as 95 and 98 fe as non upgrade editions, Thanx for the help in understanding that:) , was not trying to attack your post just wanted some clarity.
Nothing negative stays on your credit report after 7 years. Unless this happened in 1991, you are just spouting urban legend.
It is not bullshit i can tell you right now it is possible from personal experince, i have medical bills that have been on my credit report since 1991, i am still paying them off steadily at 350.00 a month. I was told by a lawyer that if you have incurred a debt of any kind it must be paid off in full and will remain in effect as bad credit until it is paid off!, then after 7 yrs you can petition to have it removed from your records, all they have to do is resubmit it after 7 yrs with the paper work you signed showing that your making monthly payments to them until the debt is paid off and it remains on your credit until it is.
so when you say "bullshit alert !" i say your full of it.
now prove me wrong beyond a reasonable shadow of doubt or shut up.
First_In_Hell (549585) you said that most people obtain the OS because it is packed in with most OEM machines like:Compaq,Dell,GateWay ect, i have seen these type of disks especialy compaq's and i can tell you the ones i have seen are set up to not install on anything but the machine they are shipped with. so how can any one without the same type of machine install it and make it work for them when 90% of the time it is looking for an OEM signature internally before it will complete it's install and you can enter the activation key on the book that came with it ?.
just need a little clarification on that please,
thanx Russell Morton
I don't know about that cry0fan2 i am fairly new to linux and found that the computer i built for about 110.00 works fine with the Linux Ice Pack version 2.75.
My computer componets:
C3-via Cpu 735 MHZ 133 FSB
Integrated Sound and Video: chipset sis 630/7018
Audio and Video Combination.
Cdrom Burner/Writer: BTC-Corp
ScSi adaptec 70xxx Seris Controler/w 80GB hdd
IBM 7200 rpm IDE 180GB Hdd/w 1Meg Cache
Hsf 56k win modem Riser style
Now all of these were comptible with linux except:
1. the Winmodem (but the Linmodem Driver fixed it)
2. Cd R/W drive (no patches for it)
But it found every thing else just fine and works with it just fine.
also did you check with your company that makes your mother board or componets that were not compaible to see if they had a driver ?, most do and you can usually down load for free. From thier web sites.
I mean you should give Linux another shot it may surprise you. more and more distros are becoming compatible with hardware from various companies it just takes some time thats all. but Windows now i have had tons of compatibilty problems with it and that was with programs and hardware bearing the made for Win 98 or Win 95 Logo's on the box. it was my scanner a mustek 1200 cpi and then i had problems with my digital camera a Sony freedom cam same thing had to patch it.
so all i am saying is give Linux another shot it is a good OS. from what i have seen and used in my work at home and i am looking forward to learning it from the ground up. through compiling a kernel very interesting stuff there. just my o.p. thats all

I agree with Anonymous Coward on this point, That the rights of the Individual should and must be protected.
Otherwise the rise in the cost of Music and Software and other forms of entertainment are just going to keep going up for all of us that is why i have switched to using Linux because i can no longer Afford the Microsoft's Software any more
Just my opinion, i have intended to start a war over an old issue just wanted to say i agree with someone who feels the same as i do.
Respect to you all, Russell Morton.

So you will know when they are done with your cdrom drive of course :)
